Buff the "balanced" play calling effect to continue the move of the game away from Pure O.


Wish they would tell us what the buff is because I just don't see it.

Please make some changes to zone, just a couple ideas:

1. Buff Zone Awareness, it takes way too long for defenders to recognize Run or Pass.
2. Fix Containment, the entire defense on the side of the rush shouldn't be in containment waiting on the RB to run over them.
3. Change Zone Shark so it raises the floor of the Knocked Loose/Strip roll.
4. Fix Deep Zone so the defenders don't give WRs a 5 yard cushion when in coverage. The defender should be making a play on the ball, just because you don't let anyone behind you doesn't mean you let the WR get a free catch.




For rushing, I agree with BHall. Run blocking needs a slight buff, DL have the ability to absolutely man handle the OL in its current state. For passing, it's still easier to throw 3 20 yard passes in a row than to actually have your WRs run routes. Fix all the broken plays with WRs doing double cuts, make it harder to catch deep balls, and increase OL blocking slightly so they can actually let routes develop.

This is probably my biggest issue with zone. When the ball is thrown deep, the safety keeps running down field instead of stopping and turning back to the ball, where the WR has an uncontested catch. And my safety has 90+ zone awareness. I'll try to find an example.

So that's pretty funny, and it should absolutely be fixed, but that has to happen on like 0.01% of total plays. Given that Corndog/Bort really only do drive by fixes/additions for like 2 days every off-season, there are more pressing fixes.

Yes! I dont see it either... Increase the play diversity bonus!

I understand they want to have the roleplaying feel to it. But it's way too harsh in the current format.

A few options to help alleviate chemistry issues could be:

1) Starting chemistry when signed in off-season should be upped from 50 to 75 (or 100)
2) Chemistry gains should be a multiple of what they currently are.
3) Any of the above, plus the first 3 league games should not be from your division. Chemistry can seriously screw up your playoff chances by putting you in a divisional hole.

It seems pretty much like everyone hates the chemistry rules, so they really need a lot of softening if they're kept at all. I started playing at the wrong time (more or less just about when the chemistry of 0 for joining a team hit for the season), and if I hadn't loved so much else-- the player building is so immensely better than GLB1; once I realized I'd have to build a specific way for a real life year before my player could be near-reasonable I wasn't going to stick with GLB1-- it could have discouraged me into quitting, which I'm sure happens often. You don't hear about it, because people just go away.

Simply do #2, making chemistry be regained about 3 times as fast as it is, and maybe make chemistry have only half the impact it currently does, and I think problems are mostly solved. Oh, and so as to encourage people who start anew during a season as I did, signing as a Rookie should never start one below 50 chemistry.

Just do the suggestion where Vet teams get free 100 chem slots when a rostered player hits Legend.

More Man Defensive plays with Medium and Long tags. Man has way too much Short.

There are ZERO Long defensive Man plays in 4-3, 4-2, and 4-1 formations. Zero...it's crazy!

I made a Suggestion previously that every formation should have at least ONE of Short, Medium and Long.

And a Blitz at each distance tag.

But 12 seasons in and I can't even get Bort/Cdog to acknowledge the need. Forget implementation.

Word - emphasis on man handle.

Fix the chase down SA so CBs have a chance to keep up with speedster WR since a CB has a lot more to invest in than just sprinting.

Fix the ladder. Top teams never face each other between Seasoned - Pro.

#1 Pro - Too Many Cooks
Haven't faced #2 Bronx Bombers since season 9
Have faced #3 Central Falcons once in the past 3 seasons
Haven't faced #4 Hostile Takeover since season 9

#2 Pro - Bronx Bombers
Haven't faced Too Many Cooks and Columbus Cobras since season 9.

#7 Journeyman - Saskatchewan
Haven't played a single top 10 Journeyman team in ladder all season

#1 Seasoned - PORN
Haven't played a single top 10 Seasoned team in ladder all season

#3 Seasoned - No Name
Haven't played a single top 10 Seasoned team in ladder all season

#5 Seasoned - HAHA
Haven't played a single top 10 Seasoned team in ladder all season

etc.

I don't have time to look through every team, but I am sure there are plenty of more examples.

^^^^^ WOW

I had no idea it's been that bad being in Vet the last 4 or so seasons... this absolutely needs to be fixed
